This is great news as I recall it wasn't until I was in my late 30s that I finished paying off my loans and I suspect my son Mark will be in his 40s when he pays off his.

I don’t know if this is the answer to the problem of our kids getting out of college and getting into financial trouble, but at least it’s a start to solving that problem.
